Alkene: Unsaturated hydrocarbons having at least one double bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkenes.

  • Trans configuration: In trans configuration, carbon atoms present in the main chain are placed on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.
  • Cis configuration: In cis configuration, carbon atoms present in the main chain are placed on same sides of the carbon-carbon double bond.
